gelf.h: No such file or directory

[Raynos]

flow needs more then just opam to compile.

I tried installing opam and running make; looks like I need a gelf.h file.

I can install libelf-dev to work around this. Can we update the README to mention this edge case ?

As a seperate question, why does a javascript type checker need to read elf files ? It's probably for this hack IDE support stuff.

For part 2, the elf dependence allows the library tarball to be bundled into the executable. This line from the Makefile does the deed:

objcopy --add-section flowlib=bin/flowlib.tar.gz _build/src/flow.native bin/flow

I don't know if there's anything else going on with elf.

I've removed the libelf dependency, so I'm going to close this task out.
